HUNT, ELIZA
(27 Mar 1919, Thursday, Southwest Press, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. W. E. Hunt of Carter died at the Goodhue home on North Main last
Thursday night, and was buried at Carter Saturday.  She leaves a husband
and six children to mourn her loss.  The three sons, Adam, Elmer and Roy,
are in foreign service.  Adam is well known to the people of Elk City.
Mr. Hunt is manager of the Cooperative Lumber yard at Carter.
Those attending the funeral services from this place were Mr. and Mrs. T.
J. Harris, P. E. Peeler, Mrs. Fields and C. W. Gould and family.
(28 Mar 1919, The Carter Express, Carter, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. W. E. Hunt of Carter died at Elk City on Thursday night of last week,
the remains being brought back to Carter and laid away in the Carter
cemetery on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Hunt was at Elk City taking treatment when she made a change for the
worse and soon passed away.  She had been in poor health for a long time,
her condition getting worse last fall.  Since then her health would seem
to improve at times but such improvement would only be temporary.
The funeral services were held at the family home in Carter, Rev. Campbell
having charge of the services.  A very large crowd of friends and
relatives were present both at the home and at the cemetery to pay their
last respects to the memory of the true and worthy life of the deceased
before her remains were consigned to the grave.  Every business house in
town closed their doors during the funeral hour.
Mrs. Hunt left her husband and six children to mourn her death.  Three of
her boys, Adam, Elmer and Roy, are now serving in the United States army
in France.  Rupert, Avah and Lawrence are at home.
We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved husband and children.
